I am seriously considering a singles cruise but a friend warned me that the majority of single cruisers are older. I am 31 and don't mind "hanging" with people older than I am but I also enjoy the younger "party scene". I don't want to feel like I'm back in college on spring-break but I don't want to feel like I have joined the "settling down club" either. Anyone have any suggestions for finding the right cruise?

Sunny, I don't know which singles cruises your friend is referring to, but I have done many and find that most in the groups range in age from late 20s to late 40s, especially on the shorter cruises such as 3-4-5 days.

Go to the Singles Section of Cruisemates and check out the Singles Cruise Calendar, then e-mail me to ask about specific cruises, and I will do my best to help you.

I am noticing that more and more agencies are organizing cruises for older singles, which I think is great as the different interests of age groups vary.
